Dish TV gives free access to some channels each month as a come on.
This month the "E" channels are featured, eight of them, playing generally good movie, some great ones, sans commercials.
So my wife and I, attracted by the prospect of a piece with Samuel L. Jackson and Geena Davis, sat through this stinker.
It started off bad. That's usually enough for me to change the channel or to walk out of the theater, since stinkers rarely get better. My wife, a science fiction fan, was better prepared to sit through the progressively nonsensical plot deterioration.
Given a weekend without distractions I wondered if I could do a better job writing a screenplay on a single weekend despite the occasional interruption? Near the end, I wasn't wondering any more.
Toward the end it was so painfully awful I was having real trouble continuing to watch, but my wife wanted to see how it came out.
So how did it come out?
Badly of course, though in this case, that's an enormous understatement.
What a colossal waste of time and talent, money and perfectly good vehicles.
